Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In simulated MathDial dialogues, the Tutor Prompt significantly outperformed the Base Prompt for each model, achieving superior Success@N and far lower Telling@N rates over interaction lengths (K). → Jarosław A. Chudziak and Adam Kostka 2025

q2 · i? · design · r2
Benchmark evaluation on the MathDial dataset simulating tutor-student interaction without external tools, comparing GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini under the Tutor Prompt versus the Base Prompt. The article reports the Tutor Prompt "significantly outperformed the 'Base Prompt' for each model"; no effect size is printed.
"Results (shown in Figure 4) displayed that the 'Tutor Prompt' significantly outperformed the 'Base Prompt' for each model, achieving superior Success@N and far lower Telling@N rates over interaction lengths (K)."
